"The Engine of our Hometown" - Thinking Globally, Acting Locally -

At the 2025 Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau Sake Appraisal, both our barley shochu Tsunezo Breeze and sweet potato shochu Tsunezo received Excellence Awards.

 

Tsunezo Breeze, a barley shochu, is made using Toyonohoshi barley grown in Usuki City and Bungo-Ono City in Oita Prefecture. It also won an Excellence Award in the newly established “highball” category. So I highly recommend trying it as a highball.

 

The sweet potato shochu Tsunezo is made using Beniharuka (known locally as Kanta-kun) sweet potatoes from Usuki City, and Oita yeast.
Both award-winning shochus are products with a deep connection to the local Oita region and are much loved by the local community.
